Every tribe is born around the totem of enlightenment, and no one knows where the totem comes from. As long as the totem sits, every once in a while it will shine with a mysterious beam, which the tribesmen later called the light of enlightenment.

Among all the creatures who are enlightened by the light of enlightenment are the enlightened people. They learned the means of hunting and survival from the inheritance, and even a small number of people obtained the cultivation method, and since then there have been barbarians.

In order to give thanks to the totem, the tribal names are named by the totem. The totem of the lizard tribe appeared relatively late to other totems, appearing only a hundred years ago.

And the lizard totem created the elder of the lizard tribe by chance - Qiming. The Lizard Totem's legacy is different from other totems, and the Lizard Elder gains special abilities.

The Lizard Elder calls himself Enlightenment, and he can clearly remember and use the secret methods of the lineage, and can even teach them to others. Knowing this, Elder Qiming began the journey of "picking people."

He expanded the tribe by taking in people who were wise but had no lineage. The tribe grew and over the course of a few decades there were several hundred.

While the lizard tribe was growing rapidly, the neighboring Night Hunt began to expand rapidly. Due to the disparity in strength and numbers, Night Hunt quickly annexed the lizard tribe.

After the Night Hunt conquered the Lizard Tribe, it conquered the southern tribes in one go. Since then, the Night Hunt Alliance has been born, and the tribes in the alliance have begun to imitate the tribal structure of the Night Hunt.

The tribal structure is based on the elders as the leader, the tribal patriarch second, the hunting team second, and the old people and children who have no fighting power.

However, with the birth of the alliance, there was a battle for territory within the Night Hunt tribe. However, due to the short birth of the tribe and the scarcity of people, the lizard tribe was completely defeated in the battle for territory.

The lizard tribe was assigned to the Far South, where there was no grass and only a primeval forest separated from the forbidden area. However, the Great Elder did not care, and he led his clan and totem to settle in front of the forbidden area.

This is where our story begins.

Soon after the lizard tribe was stationed, the chief's wife was pregnant for many months, and it was the day of birth. Tim Ding is always the most important thing for the tribe, and on this day, the tribe's hunting party did not go far to explore, but was on guard nearby.

Outside the tribe were patrolled by bands of warriors, but inside the tribe was eerily quiet. Only a mud cave was surrounded by tribal elders, and a few children were surrounded by wooden sticks as bodyguards.

The wooden fence was covered with animal skins, and in front of the animal skin fence stood a middle-aged man who was high above the fence. I saw that this man was wearing a pair of colorful pants, a scarlet turban, and a bone spear diagonally behind him.

When the man stands, he shows a non-angry and self-majestic demeanor, but he looks forward to his self-righteousness, but there is anxiety inadvertently revealed. None of the old people and children around them spoke, and some just crossed their hands and prayed silently.

A loud cry was heard, and the man's clenched hand couldn't help but be placed on his chest, and the bone gun behind him also let out a gunshot.

With a slight "creak", the wooden door slowly opened.

At this moment, an old man with black hair came out of the door, and although he was rickety, he could be level with the door panel. The old man was dressed in a blackened animal skin robe, with a gray stone hanging from his chest, and a serious look on his face.

The man couldn't help but breathe heavily: "Elder, how is it?"

The old man smiled and said, "You kid, you're still so frizzy when you're all a baby." ”

The man couldn't help but cheer, and the old people and children around him cheered too. "Quiet, children and women also need to recuperate. The old man frowned, and the cheers around him stopped abruptly.

The tall man quieted down, and he bowed to the old man with excitement in his eyes: "Thank you, Elder, can I go in and see the child?"

The old man's expression relaxed: "Go ahead, be lighter." The man bowed to the old man, bent down and took off the bone gun from his back, and gently pushed the door open.

The old man showed a relaxed expression at this time: "Everyone has dispersed, and we will explore the forbidden area tomorrow." ”

Everyone smiled and bowed to the old man, "Yes, Elder." ”

This old man is Qiming, the elder of the lizard tribe. He looked back at the mud cave behind him, a strange look on his face, as if he had seen something interesting.

On the delivery bed in the house, a graceful woman lay quietly, her thighs covered with supple animal skins. She was playing with a child in her arms, and the man came in quietly and hugged the woman gently: "Xiao Li has worked hard for you. ”

The woman glared at the man who came in: "Be careful not to scare the child, Lei Shan, you be quiet." ”

The man couldn't help but touch his head, and a sincere smile appeared on his face. He rubbed his hands lightly: "Xiao Li." Give me a hug, kid. ”

The woman gave the man a blank look, and then gently handed the child to Lei Shan. Lei Shan couldn't help but rub his hands, and then took the child on his knees.

Lei Shan gently brought the child closer to his face, and his embarrassed stubble had already poked the child's face. The child suddenly woke up from his sleep, and he began to scream.

The child's loud voice spread throughout the tribe, and Da Lei Shan couldn't help laughing: "It is worthy of being my son, and the cry is so powerful when he is born!"

Xiao Li stretched out his hand and patted Lei Shan's thigh: "What are you doing, give me the child quickly, don't frighten the child." Lei Shan immediately hugged the child and turned in a circle: "I just hugged it, and then a while." ”

The child seemed to find that crying was useless, and then gave the mountain a full face. Lei Shan smiled even more happily, and Xiao Li beside him was amused. She looked at the man in front of her and couldn't help but smile.

Time flies, and 14 years have passed in a blink of an eye. The lizard tribe has survived on the edge of the forbidden area, and the first few hundred people are now less than a hundred.

The forbidden area was silent and shrouded in fog, and it was difficult for the tribesmen to find out. However, on the night of the full moon, the white fog in the forbidden area is slightly hidden. There are fireballs flying in it, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

At first, the tribe's nocturnal hunting habits remained unchanged, and on the night of the first full moon they suffered heavy losses. The creatures of mystery attack the tribe, and the tribe suffers heavy casualties.

Elder Qiming established a totem circle, and later established a clan rule: on the night of the full moon, he must return to the tribe and survive the danger under the circle. However, hunting was difficult here, so the tribe set up expeditions to explore other areas, and hunting teams struggled to hunt in the known areas to sustain the tribe.

There is a primeval forest on the other side of the forbidden area, and at this time, a wild deer the size of a calf bows its head on the shore to drink, and its head has a one-horned white background plum pattern.

There was silence all around, and a dense haystack ten feet away behind the wild deer suddenly trembled slightly. A pair of bright eyes were revealed, and the wild deer seemed to notice something suddenly erect.

A behemoth suddenly jumped out of the haystack, and in the blink of an eye, it pounced in front of the wild deer. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a colorful saber-toothed tiger, and a pair of fangs the thickness of ordinary people's arms emitted a cold light.

The wild deer by the river seemed to be frightened by the sight in front of it, and its two front legs trembled slightly, and then it knelt down with its front legs broken. Between the lightning and flint, the wild deer is about to die. However, the wild deer, which bowed its head and knelt, suddenly leaned down, and its long horns swelled with an astonishing cold light.

The wild deer swooped down towards the saber-toothed tiger, and the tiger, which was originally a surprise attacker, was attacked and defended in an instant. The saber-toothed tiger in the air twisted violently in a dangerous situation, narrowly avoiding the end of disembowelment.

But the saber-toothed tiger landed by the river, and the two sides looked at each other again, and the wild deer's expression showed a humane mockery.

"Whoa. With a sharp sound of breaking water, a head comparable to a saber-toothed tiger slammed through the water and bit the saber-toothed tiger in one bite.

The beast paused for a second before quickly retreating into the river, and with a tooth-aching sound of bones shattering, the river tumbled violently and fell silent for a long time. When the dust settled, the haystack in the distance slowly moved, and soon disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

In front of the Lizard Tribe sat a young man, who had just turned 14 and was innocent, but his face showed a melancholy that did not match. At this moment, the haystack on the side suddenly separated, and then a thick vine slapped on the boy's shoulder.

"What are you looking at, Huzi!" a hoarse voice came from the haystack.

When I looked at the haystack, it turned out that there was a man in a turf hidden inside. He was eight feet tall and covered in turf and smeared with an unknown green liquid. The young man who was sitting in a daze immediately stood up and looked surprised, and reached out to hug the man.

The man hurriedly held down the boy, then took out a brown stone from his arms and threw it to the boy. The boy took the stone like a baby, and he touched it carefully and put it into his leather coat carefully. The turf man touched the boy's head: "It's been 14 years before you know it, and you've grown so big." ”

Huzi looked up at the man, and then he suddenly pointed to the man's left hand, the man embarrassedly withdrew his drooping left hand behind him, and then gently pushed Huzi with his right hand: "It's okay, it's a small injury! Let's go home together." ”

Huzi scratched his head and opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but there seemed to be a mysterious force controlling him. Huzi couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth, and he was sweating profusely.

The man looked at the young man in front of him, and he couldn't help but show a stiff smile, as if the smile had not been on the man's face for a long time.

Huzi finally used practical actions and forcefully pulled the man towards the elder's house. The man looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression, after Huzi was born 14 years ago, he couldn't say anything other than crying at the beginning. I asked the tribal elders for treatment, but it didn't get better.

Huzi and his wife could only pin their hopes on the festival, and in order to gather the tribe's sacrifices, the couple participated in the expedition before and after. After 14 years of active exploration, the tribe has also sent back animal bones one after another.

However, as Huzi grows up, he falls under the spell of not being able to speak, accompanied by more deadly performance. The brute blood in his body could not be stimulated, and with his peers breaking through the brute blood realm early, this made the tiger more and more unsociable in the group.

The man was dragged by the tiger to the ministry, and along the way was an earthen house supported by wooden pillars around the spire. In the middle of the tribe is a special hanging tower, supported by neat wooden piles, and a small wooden totem hangs in front of the house.

The black-brown totem is engraved with a four-clawed lizard, and when the man and the tiger enter the hanging tower, there is a faint flash of light on the lizard.

On the wooden cushion in the inner room of the hanging tower sat a rickety old man, who sat cross-legged and exuded an invisible majesty. The old man was playing with a fist-sized piece of brown ore in his hand, and he didn't raise his head and said, "Lei Mu is back?"

The man bowed his head respectfully and stood with his hands down: "Yes, Daddy." ”

"Huzi go back, it's okay to have me with your uncle. The old man raised his head and smiled softly at Huzi.

Huzi looked at the elder, and then looked back at Lei Mu. He seemed to be relieved, and then bowed to the elder and walked out of the hall.

When Huzi walked away, the elder put down the ore in his hand and looked at the broken tooth quietly, with a wise light in his eyes full of vicissitudes.

Raimu didn't speak for a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee, and placed a pair of animal skins with drawings of the geography of the forbidden area in front of him.

The elder shook his head and suddenly smiled, "What are you doing here?"

Lei Mu bowed his head and said: "Lei Mu gave the brown ore to his nephew without permission, which violated the clan rules. Today, I injured my arm by being greedy for merit, and it will be difficult to explore the forbidden area in the future, so please ask the elders to expel me from the tribe. ”

The old man looked down at the man who was prostrate on the ground in front of him for a long time, and then the smile on his face narrowed up little by little.

The pillar of the lizard tribe smiled like an amiable old man, his face expressionless, and the air around him seemed to condense.

Lei Mu knelt on the ground and didn't look up, and only heard the elder's voice come out for a long time: "You don't need to explore the forbidden area this month, I will announce your punishment after a month of festivals"

Elder Qiming looked out the window at Lei Mumu who was fading away in thought, and then he reached out and grabbed the brown mine that was placed aside. I saw that the brown fist-sized ore actually emitted a faint light, and the light of the ore in the hand of the elder seemed to dim slightly, and at the same time, the aura on the elder's body seemed to fluctuate.

The elder muttered to himself, "It's been 14 years, and the fire is almost over. ”
